Chapter 306: Bloody Battle in Nanjing (11)
In street fighting, the operational consciousness of independent individuals or small groups is particularly important, and there is a combat unit for every three or four people, and special operations play a greater role in street fighting.
But it is impossible for Leng Feng to turn the National Salvation Division into a special force, so he can only instill this kind of consciousness in them first, so that they can go to the battlefield to comprehend it themselves, and if they understand it, they will naturally be able to defeat the enemy and save themselves.
If you can't, then you can't do anything, war is actually a process of individual survival of the fittest, which is cruel to say, but this is a fact.
Compassion is not in charge of the army, this ancient precept is not for nothing.
"The new 40 Brigade reported that more than 500 enemies were annihilated, a batch of weapons and ammunition were captured, more than 10 light and heavy machine guns, and 12 mortars, two of which were damaged.
"What about casualties?" Leng Feng asked calmly.
"We also had nearly 100 casualties, and for the first time, everyone was not familiar with the street fighting, but we still achieved quite good results." Long Yingqin said excitedly, he didn't expect that the results would be so great.
"One to five, the first battle was the Japanese army's loss, but then it was not easy to fight, the Japanese army was by no means so easy to deal with, otherwise we were several times the enemy in Shanghai, how could we still be beaten by them and lose their armor?" Leng Feng knew that the Japanese army had not figured out the way of the National Salvation Division, and suffered a big loss.
But the Japanese commanders are not fools, unless they don't get much useful information, otherwise, they will definitely change their strategy.
At least he hadn't heard of how many of these generals of the Japanese army were fools, just a little arrogant.
There is no great wisdom, but there is still small wisdom. Despise them. The next person to suffer is himself.
"Let Wu Xinhua and Liang Dong be careful. The Japanese will not organize a large-scale attack of troops in the future, they will definitely change their tactics, and I speculate that they will use detachments as the backbone, two or three squads as a collective, to carry out tentative attacks on the neighborhoods we defend, in order to find out our path, and then formulate a targeted strategy. Push into the city again! Leng Feng stared at the map and said, "Be careful, the sneak attacks of small Japanese troops must not leave monitoring blind spots on important road sections." ”
"Understood."
"Also, remind them that we must pay attention to air defense and anti-poison, and next, we will have to pay attention not only to the ground forces of the Japanese army, but also to the aircraft of the Japanese army." Leng Feng said.
"Yes!"
The Japanese were not yet able to coordinate ground and air, but they could recruit planes to bomb the building targets in the city. It's unavoidable.
So, air defense is something that must be paid attention to.
Of course. How to fight, it still depends on the flexibility and mobility of the front-line grassroots commanders, Leng Feng said everything that should be said, and taught everything that should be taught.
And now it's not time to go into battle in person, so he can only stay in the headquarters and wait, wait for every battle report on the front line, and then quickly make a judgment and issue orders accordingly.
This is what a commander should do, but it is much more tiring than fighting on the front line, and Leng Feng knows that he must adapt to this change.
Because in the future, there are not many opportunities for him to personally lead the team on the battlefield or carry out missions behind enemy lines.
"Report, the new 38th Brigade called, the rats have entered the warehouse, and they will be sent to Chongqing in a few days."
"I know, this kind of thing, record it, and report it to me every two hours." Leng Feng instructed that all kinds of intelligence, all kinds of news, no matter how big or small, must be reported, so try to reduce the process, some news that is not particularly important and has nothing to do with the battle situation, it is best not to report it immediately, and it is okay to report it together afterwards.
"Is there any news from the military commander's team?"
"Not yet."
"Okay, I know, you go and do things."
"Take a seat!"
Listening to the words, Leng Feng knew that it was Wu Xiaoyun who was back, and Wu Xiaoyun was now the director of the Intelligence Division of the National Salvation Division, and his military rank was even promoted to lieutenant colonel.
"How's Zhou Xue's situation?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the organs have been displaced by the shock, and they can recover after resting for a while." Wu Xiaoyun stretched out his hand and gestured.
"It's okay, send someone to send Zhou Xue to Jiangbei immediately, it's not safe here." Leng Feng instructed that a few Japanese artillery shells fell from time to time, and if the Japanese army found out that this was the headquarters of the National Salvation Division, they would definitely send planes to bomb indiscriminately.
"It's already been arranged, but it's not safe during the day, we want to wait until the evening to send people away, Tang Jing is being treated now, if you move, it will aggravate the injury, and it will take a long time to recover by then." Wu Xiaoyun explained in sign language.
"You, try to force yourself to open your mouth to speak, always use sign language, even if you can speak, your language function will deteriorate." Leng Feng kindly reminded.
If you don't take the initiative, the speed of recovery will naturally be slow, and you may even regress.
A rare shyness flashed in Wu Xiaoyun's eyes, and then nodded: "I ......"
"That's right, try to speak, even if it's word by word." Leng Feng praised and asked, "Did you have breakfast?" ”
Wu Xiaoyun shook his head.
"Let's go to the kitchen and take a look, Lao Guo has some rice porridge and steamed buns left, so don't pay attention to it in wartime." Leng Feng commanded.
"Buzz ......"
"Chief, the enemy plane has been spotted ......"
"What's the panic, haven't I seen an enemy plane, and it doesn't necessarily come at me." Leng Feng calmly scolded, and the people in the entire command put down the work at hand, quietly looked up, and listened carefully to the sound of aircraft engines in the sky.
"Two 97 ships, 12 96 land attacks, 8 93 heavy bombardments, and two 92 reconnaissance planes, this is a super mixed fleet, what are the Japanese doing?"
No matter what the Japanese wanted to do, the sky was indeed occupied by the Japanese, and with the addition of Japanese planes, the battle in the south of the city intensified in an instant.
The planes dropped bombs in the sky, the machine guns on the wings dived and strafed at low altitudes, and the artillery fire on the ground, and the Japanese offensive was quite fierce, and correspondingly. The casualties of the National Salvation Division increased further.
"Area 7 is half occupied by the Japanese. Area 8 is still in the hands of our troops. The Japanese army wanted to occupy Fugui Mountain, but was blocked by our army, and the terrain in that area was relatively open, and our army's casualties were explained. ”
"Is the underground command post of Fuguishan closed?"
"It's already closed, but once the Japanese army occupies the commanding heights of Purple Mountain, they can use artillery fire to suppress the city, even if we have a tactical advantage, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on for long." QIU Qingquan Feng. The dusty ones rushed back from the 39th Brigade Headquarters of the Inspirational Society.
"Which army is guarding Castle City?"
"It's a battalion of the 393 regiment. It was also equipped with a mortar platoon, as well as two 92 infantry guns. Qiu Qingquan said.
"You can let them hold out until dark, then blow up the fortifications and pull back." Leng Feng thought for a moment and said.
"Withdraw?"
"We only need to hold Nanjing for three days, and once the Japanese navy drives straight into the Yangtze River waterway, even if we have the ability to fight the Japanese army, we must withdraw." Leng Feng explained.
"I understand, I can't hold on for a few more days?"
"We don't have a navy, we don't even have air support, and that's what we do. It's already a matter of doing its best, it's not a matter of manpower. Leng Feng said calmly.
Qiu Qingquan clenched his fists. He exhaled a long breath: "Brother Leng, I hate it!" ”
Leng Feng said in his heart, how could he not hate it in his heart?
There is no air supremacy, no sea supremacy, and their own waterways are still in the hands of others, and their weapons and equipment are not as good as others.
Zhonghua Gate Position.
Most of Area 11 was occupied by the Japanese, but they also paid a great price, and it took almost half a squadron of dead and wounded to gain a foothold.
Lao Wei's squad was active in this area, and they were forced to retreat to the east bank of the Qinhuai River, relying on this natural river channel to shoot at the Japanese troops on the other side.
The Japanese army wanted to cross the river, or take the Zhenhuai Bridge, but the bridge was not easy to cross, although the opposite side of the bridge had been occupied by the Japanese army, but the roads and streets on the other side of the Japanese army were still firmly in the hands of the National Salvation Division.
The Japanese artillery fire almost crushed this place, but the National Salvation Division still stubbornly survived here, not giving an inch, especially the two Shina sharpshooters who could be called the Grim Reaper.
No less than dozens of Japanese soldiers and officers died under the guns of these two men.
The Japanese also sent skilled marksmen to fight against them, but in the end, they were all shot and killed.
These two people were called "black and white" by the Japanese army!
This black and white double evil is naturally the tiger and the leopard, neither of them is convinced, so they also learned from the Japanese, to see who hunts more Japanese soldiers, who will invite the other party to drink a big drink.
As a result, naturally the Japanese army suffered, and with a bet and a breath of fighting, the two of them completely entered the state and devoted themselves to the battle.
In addition to these two particularly powerful, the Japanese army found that the fighting style of the army in China suddenly changed, they no longer like to take the lead, and they are not even willing to rush out to fight, they like to hide in the dark and put cold guns!
What's even more despicable is that they always like to drop a grenade or two casually, and they also make a trick mine, and the Imperial soldiers always inadvertently hit when attacking and sweeping.
They were no longer charging in groups, but in groups of two or three, in an extremely flexible way, taking advantage of the ruins of the city, the collapsed houses, and the gaps in the streets, quietly hunting the Imperial soldiers.
On top of that, they're so familiar with the terrain that they slip out under your nose and eye and you won't even be able to spot it.
Rumble!
The Japanese army can only use the most artillery fire to carry out indiscriminate bombardment of the attack area, and then send troops to enter, occupy and sweep up, this stupid method is effective.
However, this was a huge test for the Japanese army's logistical consumption, and this bombardment was down, and the progress was made, but the Japanese army ran out of shells, and the Japanese army's heavy artillery positions near Hongmao Mountain were also unbearable.
At this rate, before the city of Nanjing could be attacked, the Japanese army's own artillery would have no shells available.
Urge!
Urge!
Urge!
Artillery shells are needed ahead, and no matter how hard they can be urged, they must have stocks and be able to transport them in time.
"What, there aren't many shells left, there are less than two base shells for heavy artillery, what's the matter?" The six generals of Shun Hata were all in a hurry.
"The North China Front has withdrawn some of the past ......," the quartermaster kept wiping his sweat.
"Immediately from North China, Manchuria will also do."
"Even if it arrives, it will take at least three days to reach the front line."
"Hurry up and bring the rest over first!"
"Hay!"
